2 FROM THE EDITOR S DESK Elections for Club Treasurer and Vice President were held during the November meeting. Vic Pugarelli was elected as our new Treasurer, and Greg Schock was re-elected as Vice President. We wish to congratulate Vic and Greg, and wish them all the best. Our next club meeting will be held at the Newark Senior Center on Dec 5 at 7 PM. Come and bring something for show and tell. Freeze Fly Our annual Freeze Fly will be held on January 1, New Years Day. We will have coffee in the morning to warm up, as well as food and beverages for lunch. Everyone is encouraged to being a dish to share. The Freeze Fly is a family event and typically one our best attended events of the year. It is a great time to renew old acquaintances and meet our new members. If weather permits, we usually have fun flying competitions, balloon bust, spot landing, limbo, what ever we can come up with. So be sure to bring a plane to use in the competitions. The Freeze Fly is also a great time to show off your newest airplanes. Bring your favorite to show off. Charging Station Our friends from the First State R/C Club, donated their solar charging station to our club when their club disbanded. Chet Thayer brought the equipment over to our field, and he and Greg Schock installed the solar panel on the roof of the shed at the south end of the field. A huge marine battery and charging controller were installed inside the shed. The charging ports are located by the side door. A table was placed under the ports for your convenience. The charging jacks are covered with a metal plate to keep out the weather. The plate is held on with two screws. The screws can be removed by hand (no screwdriver needed). When you are finished with the

3 charging station please replace the plate and replace the screws by hand. I recommend that batteries being charged be kept as far away from the shed wall as possible. That will keep any battery fires from burning down the shed. Everyone should be sure to thank Chet and Greg for their hard work on our behalf. Pavilion Wrap The pavilion needs to be wrapped before the Freeze Fly. New plastic to wrap the pavilion is being purchased. Typically when we wrap the pavilion we also clean up the leaves and branches from the field. We will send out an when a date is set. Please come and help. We can use all the help we can get, and many hands make for light work. Club s Club notifications are sent using the delawarerc@yahoogroups.com list.

Membership Renewal New Years Day is not only the date of the Freeze Fly, it is the date that your 2018 club dues are due. Please don't be one of those people who wait to pay their dues until Spring or even Summer. Dues are supposed to be paid in the new year. The club cuts us some slack and will keep members on the books until March 1st. After that date people who have not paid their dues are no longer members of the club. It is no fun having to deal with membership renewals every day or two for months on end. So let's be kind to our new Treasurer and pay dues promptly.
